Hydroxyapatite (HAp) due to its compatibility with natural human bone and teeth has been broadly used as a bone biomaterial in orthopedics and dentistry. However, on its own HAp has poor mechanical properties therefore its use as a coating is more favorable for implantation at a load bearing sites. To further improve the properties of HAp coatings additional processing such as surface charge can be created with electrical polarization in electrical field.
